Is there an animation you really don't like in the game? For me is the Cute wave animation from the flirt interaction... I hated it since the first time I saw it and it still grosses me out every time I see it.
The "seeing a sim with a pristine reputation" animations, mostly because 1. they're incredibly disruptive and 2. when I play families, I'll see siblings, children, parents, etc. fawning over their relatives in a way that, frankly, just looks wrong.
Idle animations annoy me when they play instead of whatever else I'm trying to get a sim to do.
The "hunt for eggs" animation in Seasons. They don't act like they're actually searching for them. They just run over to the clump of grass or whatever that you clicked on and do the usual "collecting" swipe. So disappointed. Lol.

Ugh ... the idle animations... I disabled them ages ago... They are annoying as plum!
The walking animation when the Sim really needs to pee.
The generic hug animation. Not that it's badly animated, but the sheer quantity of it occurring gets old.
The passing out animation. I get that The Sims has a generally goofy tone, but come on. The fact that there's only one passing out animation doesn't help.

Personally I like the goofyness of it, but they could add another animation. It could be like the one from Sims 3, It was hilarious to see them wobble abit then suddenly fall onto their backs.
I don't mind the wave... but I hate the "sexy pose" animation haha.
Also when Sims pass out, except toddlers, the toddlers are adorable.
And the "toilet walk" . If a Sim has to use the toilet that badly they should run for it, not walk ridiculously slow and end up wetting themselves haha. The toilet walk would be great for a toddler as it's more realistic, but toddlers don't get that animation when they have low bladder
Base game: -Doors opening to sims as if every door in game has an automatic sensor. -Every sim happily talking to every other sim regardless of relationship, context, traits, environment, etc (i.e. idle autonomous happy-faced chatter). -Sims sitting down to talk to other sims with their back to them, not facing them whilst conversing. ??? -Unskilled/low cooking skilled sims preparing a garden salad and momentarily breaking to pick their ear then continuing to toss salad.
EP: - Recycled animation of tossing a drink in a possessed sim's face to cure them (Strangerville). - Group dancing (GT). Not a fan of the animation. Maybe if there were more variety in the style of dancing there is?
[Edited because “lack of special animation for first time mermaid transformation and lack of animation for curing mer-ism (IL)”, as I had originally posted isn’t an animation, it’s a lack thereof.]
-Sims sitting down to talk to other sims with their back to them, not facing them whilst conversing. ???
On this note, sims who are sitting deciding to get up and hug each other (or shake hands or kiss or whatever) before sitting back down to resume conversation.

*lol* Exactly--I don't like the musical-chair-do-as-they-randomly-please bizarre conversing animation-jumble either. I wonder what's coded in the game to make the sims decide to do that even if autonomy is turned off.

I've noticed that something about sims talking seems to override freewill. I've had it turned off (in general and for selected sim) and still had sims selecting their own socials when already engaged in conversation with each other (usually for worse as they end up randomly yelling at the other sim, or flirting with them when they shouldn't).
The complete lack of a proper animation when sims get on or off a boat. They just teleport. When it comes to Island Living, people usually complain about toddlers reusing the pool animation from Seasons when playing in shallow waters, but at least they have one...
Speaking of teleportation, the teleport animation sims learn with a high Welness skill is too slow. Unless you're exploring the Selvadoradian jungle, your sim might as well just walk from A to B in the meantime.
This one is in my opinion the worst of the worst. Childish and so random, who does that? I never understood the thought process behind it.
Apart from that one, I dislike the "sexy pose" one, and I find the kisses in general are too prude. I miss TS2 romantic interactions so much!
I also dislike all the shortcuts: teleportation, not getting anything from the cupboards when cooking, objects appearing and dissapearing from their hands like a magic trick, and the recycling of animation, how most social interactions have the same animations.

Agree with all of this. I totally cringe every time I see that fist bump.
I'm surprised people dislike the passing out animation. I just think it's funny.
When a sim changes the diaper on a toddler and then breathes in the air like they are enjoying it. It's the same animation when a sim eats good cooked food. It looks so wrong.
"Ah, yes, I do enjoy the smell of toddler farts in the evening."

Nothing wrong with it, but they look like they are enjoying it waaaay too much. I mean seriously look at it

This is the face that I made when i saw the woohoo acceptance animation first time 😂

Oh this too. I really wish i am able to designate the first kiss animation only for teens...

Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
